Yes
We have a black tie event to attend in july and after asking what length dress it should be i got cocktail or evening!

What would you say it should be?????

thanks in advance.

Terri
 
entirely up to you, i personally would go cocktail, so 3/4 length, but if you fancy evening i'm sure you'll not be alone
 
Evening, you don't want to turn up and be the only one wearing a shorter dress.
 
i am draw to the evening length for the reason above and the fact i have a wardrobe full of them but not one cocktail but worried i'll be the only one...
 
In the summer I would go knee length- lots of lovely dresses in shopsnow
 
Try to find pictures of last years event (if it's not a one off) and see what everyone else has worn? I did that to go to a ladies masonic do and ended up in a ballgown...full on! :lol:
I personally think black tie do's are a scarce opportunity to wear something really flouncy! I'd go all out and get something full length and work the room lady!!

Oh and post pics after...;-) You'll look fabulous!
 
I would go Cocktail defo. :thumbs: so many nice dresses about now.
 
It is an anual event this is the only time we will be going.

Ok th event is my sons schools summer ball black tie full on umpteen course dinner ect and parents are attending as they always do. (this is not a prom lol).

I have lots of evening/ball gowns but i think i am going to have to take a trip over to the school and if they have any pic's on the walls none on the website.

and there was me thinking i was done with all this dress stuff. well hopefully this is the last one.

i may phone them tomorrow and speak to the matron she will know more than a male housemaster i hope.

thank for the advice.
 
As it's a school function I would personally go for a a long evening gown. I am sure you will not be the only woman there in a long dress but there is a chance you might be the only one in a short dress. In saying that knee length would be absolutely fine, anyone passing judgement would prob only be jealous of your legs. Go with whatever you feel comfiest in. Sorry re-read that and I'm no help at all :bonk:
 
ok guys thanks and i think to save dosh as well i am going to do the unthinkable and wear one that i have so it is going to be a long dress.

was going to add some pic's but they are so shockingly bad i won't but thank you everyone. add will add pic's of the do when it happens

Go as a St Trinians chick Terri. Go on I dare you :naughty: It will be one party your boy will never forget or the the school for that matter :lol: ;)
 
I was at formal ball last night.... cocktail dresses and long dresses were both the norm and equally acceptable...there wasnt anyone wearing anything particularly short...mid thigh was about the shortest...I wore knee lenght and there were some lovely dresses in 3/4 length and full length...doesnt seem to be a "standard"

My advice, wear whatever makes you feel the most fab and sexy :)
